Carlo Grossi

Carlo Grossi (c. 1634 – 14 May 1688) was an Italian composer.

Life

He is believed to have been the first composer to use the term "divertimento", in his 1681 composition Il divertimento de' grandi musiche da camera, ò per servizio di tavola.

He was the organist at the church of SS. Giovanni e Paolo.

He is also known for setting Hebrew religious texts to recitative in the style of Claudio Monteverdi, such as in his Cantata Ebraica in Dialogo.

Grossi died in 1688 at Venice.
